📖Sahih Muslim 592 a
‘A’isha reported: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pronounced salutation, he salutation longer than it took him to say: O Allah: Thou art Peace, and peace comes from Thee, blessed art Thou, Possessor of Glory and ]Honour; and in the narration of Ibn Numair the words are:” O Possessor of Glory and Honour.”
- This hadith from Sahih Muslim describes the way in which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would conclude his prayer by saying a longer version of the salutation. When he finished his prayer, he would say:”O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of Glory and Honour.” This longer version of the salutation is not obligatory, but it is recommended for Muslims to say it. The phrase “You are Peace and from You comes peace” is a reminder of Allah’s role as the ultimate source of peace and tranquility, and a recognition that all peace and security ultimately comes from Him. The phrase “blessed are You” is a form of praise and glorification of Allah, acknowledging His greatness and majesty. The phrase “O Possessor of Glory and Honour” further emphasizes this, highlighting Allah’s sovereignty and power over all things.
Overall, this hadith teaches Muslims to conclude their prayers with a sense of gratitude and humility, recognizing Allah’s role as the ultimate source of peace and blessings. It also emphasizes the importance of praising and glorifying Allah, and acknowledging His power and sovereignty over all things.
